In summation, why do you think we have had to have a 250 postcount for the section?  And that we do try to enforce it, in particular with sellers?  Buyers with less than 250 posts (generally newbies) are allowed to post wanted in the test section and its then moved for them.   

agreed with you hotel21.. but this still doesnt guarantee anything for good sellers

But what does?

A seller is only as good as his last deal.  If you want feedback to refer to before buying, then buy/sell on E-bay.  They have the mechanism already figured out.   

we here, have our numerous methods as daily we face more tricks than any of you

in case admins really interested, I can pm those methods and trust me no way of escaping them

The Admin Team gives up a lot of time freely to ensure smooth(ish!) running of the site.

One thing I would not like to see is an extra burden on them.

As it stands, we can only protect members by only allowing 250 postcount members to sell. Maybe this should be raised, maybe not. This is the only automated method we currently have available to us.

I'll stick my neck out a tad here and give what I think will be the concerted Admin viewpoint.

No.

That is my personal opinion, and the way I would vote if we did go down that line.

Note, that is my personal view, not necessarily the view of the Admin Team.

  Sorry TB.  Should also have put in the same caveat.   

The 'NO is my personal view and not that of the Mod/Admin team.

I was only guessing.....

It seems to me that what started as a service to members (finding parts) has become a commercial enterprise for some.
Maybe it's time it went back to the way it started and not the OOF ebay it's become.

I can definitely say Robg and Albs , top Sellers

and if you collect you get a nice cuppa coffe and some buiscits buiscuits biccys and some nice company  Albs isnt too bad either

[albitz]

imho, buyjng/selling should be a small part of the site. Obviously, those who are trying to use OOF to make a few quid probably see it as the most important part.

That isnt true, and tbh I find it deeply insulting.

Albs dont take it personal..

[albitz]

break me Im sorry I mentioned it.Thought it might be a helpful idea and get my neck jumped on by all and sundry and virtually accused of being a ruthless shark, several of whom I believe I have been more than helpful and reasonable with in supplying parts when they required them.

The way it was worded Cem, to me, it was personal.

can i just say as a fairly new member of OOF and not a old timer i fully respect and listen with interest to your views as well as admiring the hard work and dedication that has gone into making this site what it is and its a credit to all concerned.

when i first joined i was drawn to the parts section having aquired an omega that need work etc . its true to say people are making money dont think its loads of money by what i have seen and experienced in the parts and services that i have purchased but the spirit of OOF goes with each sale and service ie helpfull advice freely given and accesible .....you dont get that on ebay........i think the sales and parts section is impotant ok not the  be all and end all but i would rather buy a car or part or get some work done from an OOF member, i think there are more people buying than selling and those sections should not be looked down upon

and another thing if it was not for the parts department and service department i would never have gone to newent and met in my mind one of the nicest bunch of people i have ever met group hug

well said

Albs, I certainly don't read anything personal in the thread, perhaps you're being a little sensitive

As for a feedback section... I've seen it on a couple of other forums and it has become a horrendous shouting match I wouldn't want to see anything like that on here

[paul.lovejoy]

yeah come on Albs sod the comments  i would certainley recommend you cost you £1.39 though look mate you dont need feedback anyway your a top bloke ( £1.39) your cheap ( £2.78 ) your helpfull ( £4.17) your honest (5.56) face like a bag of spanner but hey i like you lets call it £7.50 cash

[albitz]

Paul - you make I larf.
